1.3 Install using the .exe installer

Download

Download and run the Buru SFTP Server installer for your platform. Installers are available for both 64-bit and 32-bit Windows.

Installation directory

Choose the installation directory

Installation directory contains command line tools. You might want to add this directory to your %PATH%.

Configuration files files are located in %PROGRAMDATA%\Rebex\BuruSftp directory.

SFTP/SSH Windows service

Configure Windows service

This account will be used to access the files and folders and also for SSH access, unless the impersonalization is configured. Learn more about Service user consideration.

This settings can be changed later using the burusftp svc install command.

SSH/SFTP port and addresses

Configure ports and IP addresses

You can override the default port and IP addresses here.

This settings can be changed later by editing the configuration file or using the Web Admin.

Web Administration

Configure web admin service details

This account will be used to run Web administration and will require full access to the configuration directory.

If you skip installation of the Web Admin as a Windows service you can still run it later via burusftpwa run command.

Configure web admin port and IP address

It’s highly recommended to configure the HTTPS access to the web administration as soon as possible, unless you allow access from the local machine only (which is the default). When you log in to the Web administration using plain HTTP, your password is being sent unencrypted over the network.

First user

Add the first user

You can add the first user here. Learn how to add more users or use different authentication methods in the User setup chapter.
